Alone

Life can be lonely for some people, I know that I experience it. It seems to closer you are to Jesus, the more lonely the path gets that you have tread. I am kind of passionate for Jesus and I live a life that is set apart for God. It is not often that I meet people that seem to know the Lord like me. I feel the deeper I go with Jesus, the less that people can relate to me.

I think it was Thomas Kempis the mystic that said, "If Jesus really loves you sometimes you will find that you have no friends but Him." I feel that to be the case with me. Sure I have friends at church, and people that love me on the Internet, but sometimes in the dead of night, its just me all alone. Sometimes God has a season for us to walk through, where He wants us to appreciate Him and grow in our knowledge of Him, and perhaps friendships will water that relationship down.

I know that Jesus was a person that had a lot of people around Him, but still he lived with loneliness and sorrow. No one really understood Jesus for who He really was. No one had the insight, wisdom and knowledge that Jesus had and so because He couldn't share those deep things of God with anyone He relied heavily on His Father each day. If you find yourself lonely, press into Jesus. He is there waiting for you I promise.
